ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
The inquiry focuses on the implications of working remotely in Thailand on a DTV visa for less than 180 days, specifically regarding tax liabilities for the employer and employee. Key points discussed include that if the employee remains in Thailand for fewer than 180 days, there may be no tax implications for the company, as they are not doing business in Thailand. However, the employee could become a tax resident upon exceeding 180 days in a calendar year. To strengthen the case with the employer, consideration of alternative visa options like the LTR remote worker visa is suggested, which may provide tax exemptions.
